Is potato starch a solution?

Starch is not a solution.


What happens to a potato chip that soaks in vinegar?

When a potato chip soaks in vinegar, it may absorb some of the vinegar, causing it to soften and lose its crispiness. The vinegar can also add a tangy flavor to the chip.


Analysis in potato in a salt solution?

When a potato is placed in a salt solution, osmosis occurs. Water molecules move from an area of higher concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower concentration (the salt solution), causing the potato to lose water and shrink. This demonstrates the process of osmosis, where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides.


What happens to a potato slice in a solution of water that demonstrates osmosis?

the potato slice with decrease in mass, as the free water molecules during osmosis will leave the potato paasing through the semi permeable membrane. This happens because there is more free water molecules on the outsite of the potato, forcing more net movement towards the outside of the potato


Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?

This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.
